About him

Separated for nine years now and after channelling all of my energy and love into my children and business, I feel ready for a bit of 'me' time.

I would be delighted to meet.....a true lady who could tolerate my loves of Gin, Real Ale, French reds, port, Sheffield Wednesday FC, Scottish Rugby Union, Marillion, Steely Dan and me in general!

I am spontaneous, brutally honest, faithful, loyal, full of nice surprises, childish at times (I'm a man, enough said)! witty, dry, hardworking, ambitious, I am still hungry and have 'fire in my belly'.

Never judge anyone, everybody is my friend until they upset me, I am better than no-one but nobody is better than me.

I can 'take it' as well as 'dish it out'. Never afraid to laugh at myself.

I have an aversion to bad manners, the Labour party and people who call me hun, hunni and babe, my name is David thank you !

I also detest 'text talk' lol, omg etc. and reality TV.

I live in a small village and love all the things associated with it..300 metres one direction I am in open fields, 300 metres the opposite and I'm in the village pub..could you ask for more ?

I am just as happy at home in front of the fire as I am 'tripping the light fantastic' with a gorgeous lady on my arm.

I sold my own business in the food sector and now have a rather quirky village pub, however I would still like to meet somebody who will take my thoughts away from it more than once in a while.

I recently discovered gin and now have over 50 in my bar and will be launching my own brand soon !

I lived in Tunbridge Wells for six years. I have lived in France and have travelled fairly extensively. Japan is without a doubt the most amazing culture that I have witnessed ...sadly Retford isn't but it's less than 90 minutes from London if the trains run on time !

I don't really do shopping. If it can't be bought on-line then I don't believe that I actually need it.

I made a conscious decision eighteen years ago only to buy British labels but I am not a clothes snob !

His ideal match

Well, presuming that the beautiful heiress to the Guinness brewing empire is already spoken for the following criteria will have to do !

I like a lady who is confident that she can 'keep me on my toes'. She can amuse, entertain and reach me cerebrally. I'm a Gemini and can get bored and distracted easily.

Ideally she would be tolerant, solvent, slim, attractive, just a little bit crazy at times, sociable, non-judgemental, oodles of fun, loving, caring, classy and spontaneous would be good also !!!

Sporty, either viewing or participating. A rider and lover of horses would be a huge bonus.

Somebody who likes cuddles yet can be as comfortable in their own space. Someone who will sit on my knee and help me do the crossword. Someone who will phone me up simply to tell me that she loves me !

But in my book nothing is 'carved in stone' so if you're a bit off the mark it might not be 'life threatening' !!
